“It’s important to understand what type of equity compensation is on offer,” says Christine Benz, director of personal finance at the financial research and ratings firm Morningstar. It can be especially important if equity is a significant portion of your total compensation or if you’re being offered equity in exchange for taking a lower salary. “Make sure that you truly understand not just the tax implications, but the implications for the rest of your compensation program and the rest of your financial plan,” Benz says....

There are a few staples I have in my fridge at pretty much all times. Outside of the standard things like eggs, milk, cheese, butter, and orange juice – we always have a pack of crescent rolls or a crescent sheet. They’re great for when I’m craving something baked like these pumpkin cinnamon rolls or these mini cranberry orange bites but don’t have time to bake something totally from scratch....

These easy yet delicious radish recipes feature the root vegetable roasted alongside main dishes, sautéed in pastas, and even quick-pickled to top nutty noodles.

Part of Casper’s latest cooling collection, the Hyperlite sheets are, as the name suggests, unbelievably lightweight. They’re made with 100 percent tencel lyocell, a durable, moisture-absorbing fiber that’s sustainably sourced from wood. What’s more, the sheets feature a grid weave that makes them about as breathable as it gets. The pattern creates an almost see-through effect that allows for more airflow throughout the night. I was skeptical that these thin sheets would feel uncomfortable and prove to be flimsy—I even did a visible double take when I initially got them out of their packaging because the texture was so different than anything I’d seen before....

Plus, all of the arrangements on the site’s Mother’s Day shop are guaranteed to arrive on time, even if you wait until the day-of to place your order.

Sleep researchers at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine found that exposure to even a small amount of ambient light during the night can be harmful to cardiovascular function while you sleep and increase insulin resistance the next morning. The study’s authors acknowledge the current and emerging scientific evidence that excessive evening light exposure may negatively impact metabolic functions, namely decreased glucose tolerance and decreased insulin resistance. In other words, exposure to light before bedtime may impact sleep and some physiological functions....

Fiber is one the most important factors to consider when evaluating what we eat, but it often gets overlooked. While we sometimes think of fiber as that stuff that helps keep us regular in the bathroom, it does so much more than that. Eating a high-fiber diet is important for maintaining blood sugar, fueling digestion, feeding gut bacteria, and lowering your risk of developing heart disease. Yet most Americans aren’t getting nearly enough fiber....

There’s a myriad of markdowns happening right now, but we have our eyes set on Spanx. With over 100 best-sellers discounted up to 30 percent off, Spanx’s end-of-summer sale is not one to miss. You can shop customer-loved pieces, including skorts, seamless thongs, and workout leggings. Even the brand’s workwear marvel, the perfect pant, is on sale for $38 off.

While sleek pencil skirts and tailored blazers can be relatively easy to find in most stores, I’ve personally struggled with finding versatile trousers that are comfortable, flattering, and office-appropriate—that is, until now. Spanx recently launched a line of work-ready pants called “The Perfect Black Pant” that checks all the above boxes, and I’m obsessed. I’ve been a fan of the brand’s shapewear and super comfortable bras for a while now, so when Spanx sent me its new line of trousers, I knew I had to give them a try....

I’ve never been someone who eagerly jumps on board with the latest trends. Instead, I’m far more likely to repurchase classic pieces I know work well on my 5-foot-2-inch frame and make me feel confident and comfortable. Though I clued you in about my recent sneaker search (I purchased another pair), shoes are not my only favorite Target find that matches my personal style. Now, Target has become my online holy grail for long sleeve T-shirts, lightweight sweaters, and the best jeans I’ve ever worn....
